The Art of Wood Refinishing

Wood refinishing is more than just a process; it’s an art form that requires a keen eye for detail, a deep understanding of wood types, and a mastery of various techniques. At Lewis Wood Floor Refinishing, our skilled craftsmen bring years of experience and a passion for perfection to every project. We take pride in restoring the natural beauty of wood, ensuring that each piece we work on is treated with the utmost care and attention to detail.


Why Choose Refinishing?

Over time, wood surfaces can become scratched, dull and worn due to daily use, exposure to sunlight and changes in humidity. While replacing these surfaces might seem like a solution, refinishing offers a more cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative. Here are some key benefits of choosing refinishing:

  • Cost-Effective: Refinishing is generally less expensive than replacing wood floors or furniture. It allows you to retain the original material while giving it a fresh, new look.
  • Preservation: Many wood pieces, especially older ones, are made from high-quality, durable wood that is difficult to find today. Refinishing preserves these valuable materials.
  • Customization: Refinishing allows you to change the stain color or finish to match your current décor or preferences. It’s an excellent opportunity to update the look of your space without a complete overhaul.
  • Sustainability: Refinishing reduces waste and the need for new materials, making it an environmentally friendly choice.


Our Refinishing Process

At Lewis Wood Floor Refinishing, we follow a meticulous process to ensure the best results for your wood floors and furniture. Here’s an overview of our approach:

  • Assessment: We start with a thorough assessment of the wood surface to determine its condition and identify any damage. This step helps us decide on the best refinishing techniques and materials to use.
  • Preparation: Proper preparation is crucial for a successful refinishing project. We carefully remove any existing finish, sand the surface to remove scratches and imperfections, and clean the wood to ensure it’s free of dust and debris.
  • Staining: If you wish to change the color of your wood, we offer a wide range of stain options. Our experts can help you choose the perfect shade to complement your space. We apply the stain evenly to ensure a consistent, beautiful finish.
  • Finishing: The final step involves applying a protective finish to the wood. We use high-quality finishes that enhance the wood’s natural beauty while providing durability and protection against wear and tear. Depending on your preference, we offer various finishes, including matte, satin, semi-gloss, and high-gloss.

Tips for Maintaining Your Refinished Wood

Once your wood floors or furniture have been refinished, proper maintenance is key to preserving their beauty and longevity. Here are some tips to keep your refinished wood looking its best:

  • Regular Cleaning: Dust and dirt can cause scratches and wear on wood surfaces. Regularly dust and clean your wood with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Protect from Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause wood to fade and dry out. Use curtains or blinds to protect your wood surfaces from UV rays.
  • Control Humidity: Wood can expand and contract with changes in humidity. Use a humidifier in the winter and a dehumidifier in the summer to maintain a consistent indoor environment.
  • Use Protective Pads: Place felt pads under furniture legs to prevent scratches on wood floors. Use coasters and placemats to protect furniture from spills and heat damage.

FAQs

  • What is the difference between refinishing, staining and painting wood furniture?

    Refinishing involves stripping the old finish, sanding the surface and applying a new finish. Staining adds color to the wood while allowing the natural grain to show through. Painting covers the wood with an opaque color, which can provide a uniform look but hides the wood grain. Each method has its benefits and is chosen based on the desired outcome and condition of the wood

  • How long does the refinishing process take?

    The duration of the refinishing process depends on the size and complexity of the piece, the condition of the wood and the type of finish being applied. Typically, refinishing a piece of furniture can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks, including drying times between each step. Larger projects like wood floors may take longer, especially if extensive repairs are needed.

  • Can all types of wood be refinished?

    Most solid wood pieces can be successfully refinished. However, the process may not be suitable for veneers, particle board or MDF, as these materials can be easily damaged during sanding and stripping. It's essential to assess the type of wood and its condition before deciding on refinishing. Consulting with a professional can help determine the best approach for your specific piece.

  • How do I choose the right stain or paint color for my furniture?

    When selecting a stain or paint color, consider the existing décor and the look you want to achieve. Stains come in various shades, from light to dark, and can enhance the natural beauty of the wood grain. Paint colors offer a broader range of options and can completely change the appearance of your furniture. Test samples on a hidden area of the piece to see how the color looks in your space before making a final decision.

  • How should I care for my refinished wood furniture to maintain its appearance?

    Proper care is crucial for maintaining the beauty of refinished wood furniture. Regularly dust with a soft cloth to prevent scratches. Clean spills immediately to avoid stains and water damage. Use coasters, placemats and protective pads under items to prevent scratches and heat damage. Avoid placing furniture in direct sunlight or near heat sources, as this can cause fading and drying out of the wood.

  • Is it better to hire a professional or attempt DIY refinishing?

    While DIY refinishing can be a rewarding project, it requires time, effort and some expertise to achieve professional results. Professionals have the experience, tools and materials to handle complex refinishing tasks, ensure a high-quality finish and avoid common mistakes. For valuable, antique, or large pieces, hiring a professional is often the best choice to ensure the piece is properly restored.
